LD22 — Alone

/follow by 01101101 2011-12-21T18:19:00

noone finds the Cloud's sword from FF7 ? There is also 2 matérias :p

/follow by 01101101 2011-12-23T09:47:00

Agreed! we get totally noobed by the time limit, we'll do better next time :) I promise :p

/follow by 01101101 2011-12-23T10:54:00

For sure SuperBrother was my main inspiration (i am really fan) and it is very fast to produce.
You can also find another inspirations like Skyrim, final fantasy, Portal in this compo.
And no, we did not name this game like that to get first of the list (it change every day), at the begining we were at the end :)
The truth about "/follow" : this name is a reference to the main MMORPG command to follow another character.

Together Alone by zwets 2011-12-20T01:00:00

Very smart idea, never seen this kind of gameplay before.
Nice work, realy :)
Detection of a "dead end" when i fail a patern would be better imo
Nevertheless, i really enjoyed this for the gameplay.

LD23 — Tiny World

The Traveler by Thotor 2012-04-25T01:37:00

I am really proud of you mate, very nice entry, smart gameplay and awesome level design.

I would really happy to make some art for a "deluxe version" just tell me ;)

The Traveler by Thotor 2012-04-26T07:34:00

Oh man, i just found the secret level, you are so cute mate ;)

Nasty Bubbly - 72 Hour JAM Entry by ApiO 2012-04-25T07:25:00

awesome !
very nice fisrt entry !

game play well tuned
the story makes me laugh so much !

Nook by PoV 2012-04-24T15:36:00

why you did not upscale your game? graphics are so cute ...
And browser upscale are so ugly..

Cool plateformer, maybe the wall jump isn't very userfriendly, nevertheless, i finished it with pleasure !
well done !

Super Strict Farmer by Benjamin 2012-04-27T11:22:00

After 30 sec, i understood the game concept. By the way the undestanding phase is really interesting and fun.
Super Strict Farmer is a really smart game, nice art and feedbacks (sound and visual FX.)
GG !

Memento XII by deepnight 2012-04-25T08:25:00

The narrative is truly moving, the color rendering is really just.
good job bro', you've just cracked my soul again, and i admit that i love it.

Rambros by Black Ships Fill the Sky 2012-05-04T15:21:00

B R O W E S O M E ! I really enjoyed your game and i need you to finish it, publish it on Steam and take my money !
Smart gameplay, so orgasmic to gank enemies by destroying walls. Nice job bros !

LD25 — You are the Villain

Little Death Adventure by blackmagic 2012-12-18T17:55:00

Very nice art and humour :) I love the character named "Carduus" ;)

MARTYR by ahmed.majd 2012-12-22T18:23:00

Awesome, can't stop laughing :D, The iron maiden end is so fun, i love watching this cute heroe suffering

Extinct : Humankind fade in the mist by Benjamin 2012-12-18T17:42:00

Brillant-brainfuck gameplay! I can't imagine how it was brainfuck to make :)
GFX are very nice!

Atomic Creep Spawner!! by deepnight 2012-12-18T17:38:00

AwesoOOOooooOOoooooooooooome! Some tiles are a bit redondant(joke) but it's "beauuuu quoi !"
So nice to be the DM for once!

Ore Chasm by Black Ships Fill the Sky 2012-12-18T23:09:00

AAAaaaah, i follow your work since my first ludum dare, and one more time you come rocks out butt off with a brilliant game. Am wondering where is the theme in your game, nevertheless, i am on your game for 10 min and i am already fan!

Ore Chasm by Black Ships Fill the Sky 2012-12-21T22:21:00

Many stars, this is awesome bro!

Demon Quest by Carduus 2012-12-21T17:36:00

LD27 — 10 Seconds

Legend of Troll by Christina Antoinette Neofotistou 2013-09-06T23:45:00

I have to say it's great, even if you struggle with time limit for the compo, graphix art choices are very smart. The concept is very cool and fits perfectly with the theme.
I can't wait for extra levels !

Potato Lagoon by rezoner 2013-08-27T21:31:00

tomatawesome bro, i love your music !
LD all stars for sure !

Proletarian Ninja X by deepnight 2013-08-29T08:00:00

Like The Famous Myamoto Musashi Samurai, your obstination brings your art to the top.
Even if i really prefer your narrative games, this one is maybe the best arcade game you ever made for Ludum Dare. You bring speed in an infiltration game wich are usually so slow (Solid snake struggling in the mud makes me crazy)

BeautyIsTheBeast by Valandre 2013-08-27T21:47:00

AWESOME BROS ! MORE MORE MORE :D

Feather & Son by Carduus 2013-09-01T13:31:00

Hey !
Source are now aviable, bu you need stencyl to open it i guess.
Feathers gives you extra time, just catch'em at the right time :)

LD28 — You Only Get One

The Follower by Christina Antoinette Neofotistou 2013-12-18T22:10:00

Hell Yeah great potential ! It seems you are more comfortable with construct!
Nice job Graphist-dev buddy :)

What The Sock by Spierek 2013-12-18T21:26:00

Corporate Metal gear Socket !
luv-it !

YOGO PATH by cesisco 2013-12-24T13:18:00

Nice done !
i've done the same control concept at my last LD "feather and son"
http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-27/?action=preview&uid=7279

but this one is very nice !
design really looks like the app "Type Rider"

You Only Get One Limb by vapgames 2013-12-18T21:21:00

HHAHAHA hilarious !!! love it really, very very fun game :) Fun&Nasty !

Tropic Warrior by blackmagic 2013-12-19T18:59:00

As i said IRL, the limited angle to fire does not fit with the mouse aiming.
with such a litle game-width, many time you have to stuck the extreme sides of he screen to shot your target.
Am pretty sure this game would be awesome with free mouse aiming with all angles Mr json ATAN2 allows you :)
And please i need more atk-speed !
Nevertheles, i love this entry especially the art, overall thumbs up!

0RBITALIS by AlanZucconi 2013-12-18T21:34:00

Very nice entry really !
Totally fan of it, the game i have play the most at the moment !
I need to know how you draw those elliptic arch with the physics, it's awesome (and i need it for my game :D )

Moments of Paranoia by SpellingPhailer 2013-12-18T20:47:00

rally nice mood and music, am sur if you can skip dialogs (for those who shoot at the first dialog) would be less frutstrative than waiting the dialogs ends :)
Nice entry anyway dudes, if you focus on atmosphere the job is well done !

A Precious Arrow by Benjamin 2013-12-16T18:36:00

very Nice game, very Hard for my noobie skills

Purpose by deepnight 2013-12-18T21:07:00

yeah impressive, nothing else to say ;) yeah maybe one day you'll abandon your emboss filter: in my opinion you don't need that anymore to "sign" your creations (maybe am wrong but it's how i see it :)
You have to go deep in narative stuff in your games, you're good at that !

One Shot by nzgiije 2013-12-24T12:36:00

Awesome !!!

Hose Before Bros by Gamelabbers 2013-12-18T22:25:00

Gahahah, im sure it's a litle pervert game, maybe because i am a pervert :D (You now :a girl, Two men with water canon.. sry)
I really enjoy to play your game, thanks !

Ludum Simulator 3000 by 01101101 2013-12-18T20:57:00

Ultimate Wish by Carduus 2013-12-16T09:31:00

Hey !
Thanks for your comments.
@Caranha : i forget to active the camera for the Spirit-Ball, typo noobie error.
I reactivate it (the behavior was here, but inactive)
I'm not sure if i have the right to do this 7 hours after the deadline, so tell me and i desactive it.
By the way my teleport location detection is very imprecise, and i don't know now how to fix it.
I'll try to make an enhanced version to fix this.

Ultimate Wish by Carduus 2013-12-18T12:58:00

Hey !
Thw for youy comments
I'll post de source this evening, am not at home and my source is on my hom PC U_U.

LD30 — Connected Worlds

The Lion's Song by LeafThief 2014-08-29T11:50:00

i hear the music but the game do not display any image on my screen ><

Connector by TeamEagle 2014-08-30T17:43:00

Niiiiiice! Internet baby!

Heaven or Hell by EMAK 2014-08-26T15:49:00

With a simple mechanic you did a very fun timing based game, it's just awesome !
Wellcome in da real compo hood!
Pixels are great! GG sensei!Wohooo!I' hope you'll kick Nicolas's ass ;)

Disconnecting People by Once Upon a Team 2014-08-30T17:26:00

very hypnotising game, i like the idea to be an old man who hate people so much to spend the lasts days of his life to disconect people's social links.
You should add some difficulty in your game like some defined patern of links to breack, to much random in my opinion.
Nevertheless, great entry really i like it en enjoyed playing it :)

Sinister by Joe Williamson 2014-08-28T21:09:00

i don'tknow what to say, yes because i'm disapointed :)
I WANT MOOOAR!!!
Serriously your game teased me so much, i mean it: SO MUCH!
when i hit the end i said to myself "WTF WTF I need MOOAAAAR"
It is so short man >< i need more, i need a gameplay!
Nevertheless, it is the best game trailer i've ever seen :)

Dominions'n'dominoes by Benjamin 2014-08-30T17:29:00

Absolutely outsanding game 0O, my favourite entry so far, i spend about 3 games to understand by reading tolltips, and hahem yes! it's awesome!
Tou made the best pixel art i've seen in this jam, the cover and colours are stellars ;)
Keep it up!

Chipset-0 by deepnight 2014-08-28T21:22:00

I'm a good slave :D
your entry is basicly awesome, il would like more rooms because it is so nice to play.
Image glitches are so swaaaags :D
one word:
APPROVED!

Close Your Eyes by nonetheless 2014-08-28T21:53:00

I really enjoy games like this one, with a strong but simple gameplay, starflood man! Your gameconcept is gorgeous!

Starpiercer by Schrodinger Games 2014-08-26T11:01:00

Well done guys! it's beautiful *_* music too!
I like the Idea of star piercer!


Nevertheless here is some suggestions:
-> Control the generation of the bullet time to make it appear just before a tricky ateroid patern to dodge, or let the player activate it. At the moment it happens a lot you take it for nothing and it breack the rythm.
-> make some ateroids paterns to dodge :) (S tunels) Random is cool but between patern it would be great!

Nice job, really!

Worlds Collide by Rage Paint 2014-08-31T09:06:00

Katamari in SPAAAACE!
Nice idea bro!
It is very laggy on html 5, but i see where you wanted to go with this game!
fun!

Galactic Dump by SoulGame 2014-09-01T17:47:00

Nice entry, fun to play !
Smooth graphics and UI, as well as relaxing audio.

Schrodinghost by Carduus 2014-09-01T21:37:00

Thanks for testing our game, really it's moving because we did not expect such enthusiasm ;)
we'll try to do better next LD in december!

Jeru's Tower by ncannasse 2014-08-31T09:12:00

Your pixel art is very nice, the puzzle are funs!
As a big casual gamer, i wish i had some more explanations at the begining about the gameplay, maybe if the PNJ comes to you to have a chat with you could be great, i didn' spoke to him for 3 or 4 levels :p
But holy crap, nice entry :)

LD31 — Entire Game on One Screen

Serenity by rxi 2014-12-11T18:32:00

I really liked the color palette and the controls, nevertheless i got stuck in the main entrance with some Bats and a broken control panel :)
Very moody, did you change the levels colors in real time?

Final Swap by blackmagic 2014-12-11T09:01:00

Very nice game concept! GFX are awesome.
The perfect killer app for smartphone (if you put a tutorial :D )

Spiral Wings by Joe Williamson 2014-12-11T10:34:00

It's far better than your plateformer ! GG mate
You're an awesome story teller with very simple and efficient storyboard tricks.
Your colors are wonderfull.
Can't wait to see how far you'll push the gameplay next time!

Run Bzzt, Run ! by Agram 2014-12-10T19:02:00

Nice game bros!
I really like the controls, wich is often bad in plateformers especially with jump tricks. The wall jump system is very easy to learn and hard to master with the time limit.

My only wish is that you to change the time limit in exhange of
a chonometer in order to make the shortest time possible, it is a more positive way to put time pressure in a game in my opinion,it let the player put his own difficulty (cf Dustforce),Put best score online and go viral! this game deserves it! GG again stars everywere :)

Oshters Fishers by Manou 2014-12-13T11:44:00

I really liked the ecosystem concept.
With some feedbacks to make player understand that they carry/release seeds, this game would be great.
Just add some feedbacks! :) Your game deserves it!

Snowball juggling Olympio by Benjamin 2014-12-11T09:11:00

The perfect Christmas Game :)
Your GFX are amazing, and i'm totally amaze by your inverse kinematic arms Oo, in a ludum lol !
The game is a bit hard for me (cause a noob) maybe some magnetism to grab the ball at the begining could be great :)

Microphyla by 7Soul 2014-12-13T11:28:00

Nice game!
You should bind A and W for those with azerty keyboards :)
I got stuck too at the begining in a room i could'nt escape.
Nice entry anyway!

Law Breaker by deepnight 2014-12-11T08:58:00

Awesome!
I really need pedestrians everywere to make some killing frenzy!

Ring Ring Ring by InHelli 2014-12-10T18:00:00

Holy santa! i guess we had the same idea :), the mood is awesome, gg bros!

Contact Cowboy by jrap 2014-12-13T10:54:00

I need a player 2, i'll rate your game when i could play with a teamate ;)
Nice GFX !

Plankton by alpha_rats 2014-12-13T11:51:00

Nice idea!

Parable of the Broken Window by Akurn 2014-12-13T11:22:00

Interesting, i was stuck in the first room on my first try.
Maybe an issue with the generated dingoen.
Would be great if you bind keys for AZERTY keyboards :)

THE AXE GAMES by Team BluCookie 2014-12-13T12:02:00

Gahaa Vickings surfing Rainbow snowboards, LOOoove it!

I think you reversed the zoom effects on trees and rocks, it should begin to appear slowly then go faster when it comes to the camera, like in reality :)

Fun! and the vickins animations are awesome!

Flashlight by Team Flashlight 2014-12-15T13:34:00

Gaha same cocnept as ours!

Avoidotron by StabAlarash 2014-12-13T11:33:00

Nice GFX, and i like the concept. Nevertheless, the difficulty progress very fast! and i'm a noob, i got raped by so many elves! Poor snowman!

Ram Dungeon by 01101101 2014-12-20T14:30:00

Dear Santa! i believed you did not participate this LD31!
This is what i call a very nice entry, i really enjoyed the concept to choose wisely your loot in order to exit the dugeon as a wealthy&Healthy Goat!
What i'll enhanced:
-> It would be interesting to see what goat pick when there is some gold in chests :)
-> Public gold score online : the richest Goat! (+twitter to go viral)
->Enhanced Chest GUI, just show all the loots by the same time (not easy i know), explain better that the loot choice is very important.
-> Restart Button :) same at the end of the game :)
-> BIGGER DUNGEON !!!!! (wider screen or maybe put some doors with side bonus dungeons and fuck the LD31theme)
-> Extended version on iOs Android
Very nice job by the way, with better explanations of the chests loot strategy and the main goal, this game deserves to be in the top ranking :)

DFGH Mission by Germain 2014-12-13T11:37:00

Gahaha! Nice simple and effective idea ! I like the progress bars stacking! so brainfuuuck!

Between Interstellar and kerBal Space Program, i needed this game, awesome job dude, the mood is just perfect.

LD32 — An Unconventional Weapon

Ultra Hat Dimension by Crowbeak 2015-04-25T09:30:00

Amazing puzzle game!
My brain is about to explode :)
very nice entry! clever level design and gorgeous music, GFX are very cute.

Crayon Poke by Raiyumi 2015-04-25T21:57:00

You did an incredible work with stencyl.
I hoped pencils come sooner in the game:)
Nonetheless, its a very nice game.

Badass Inc by deepnight 2015-04-21T11:41:00

Finished! i love the ending :D
A bit of action is always welcome in a point&click :)
I was surprised by the music mood, i was expecting a Deus Ex style but this one fits well with the character.
My favourite Point&click is still Memento, but this one is very cool too! (you did not like the theme didn't you? xD )

The Rock the Paper and the Scissors by BIZM 2015-04-25T10:43:00

My gosh, you make rock paper scisors a true game, fun and deep, GFX& music are stunning,I love the light scatering shader on the monument valley's rocks, my favourite entry ! Animation are gorgeous.
Awesome, nothing else to say.

Seamus' Gun by 01101101 2015-04-21T14:15:00

Awesome Audio *_* The game is fun too, don't blame yourself, i liked it!
i think the swap color system does not fits well with random bullets, or i did miss something :D

Ex-Sword-Stential Crisis by Team Ex-Sword-Stential 2015-04-25T08:53:00

Gahaha, silly xD
I know what is to be a masterless forgotten sword now!
i love the music and the mood too!
Nice shader/colors.
Controls are hard, but i guess it's the twist of your game, and it's nicely tied to the theme.
Would be perfect if you bind Z & Q keys for f*****g european keyboards :p
Nonetheless, i enjoyed this entry.

Chaos Tomb by Dietrich Epp 2015-04-25T08:37:00

Hilarious weapons, "potatoooe!" :)
nice entry, feels like metroid, challenging.
-> i think ennemies could me more interresting: bullet thing is often punishing while they focus you dirctly, try some patterns (circle, cross etc) or make them focus you with bullets including the same physics than potatoes (curvy).
Nevertheless, i really enjoyed this entry, and it's nicely tied to the theme. Music is great too!

Jungle Hair by ncannasse 2015-04-21T12:12:00

I really enjoy this, a bit too challenging for my noobs's skills.
I'can't stop laughing out loud while i turn this naked black guy with his hair.
You totally reveal the dark naturist side of Megaman xD
Nice entry!
